The top-rated AJ Fernandez San Lotano Maduro remains one of the hottest premium handmade cigars on the planet, so I decided to take this brand for a spin and see what all the hype is about. First off, this perfectly shaped box-pressed cigar boasts a jet-black San Andres Mexican wrapper that is gleaming with oil. Under the hood, a delicious mix of aged filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras, are bunched inside a sturdy Nicaraguan binder. Smooth and balanced, this medium-full bodied cigar opens with stout flavors of earth and pepper, soon joined by notes of coffee, wood, and chocolate. My conclusion- the hype is real, AJ Fernandez San Lotano Maduro is a scrumptious, top-quality cigar!
